Most of the time, there is no countdown for system tasks.

Even if there is a system counting down on the side, it seems to be different from this time.

"Host, please complete the task within twenty minutes."

"Host, please do not be negative about the mission."

If left alone, the mission will fail.

But there was something Neji wanted to try.

From the beginning to now, he has never given up any mission.

Of course, giving up here does not include negative treatment.

People always have to make their own choices.

"give up?"

"you sure?"

It's you, not the host.

002 sounded surprised.

"You might die, host."

"But compared to death, abandoning the mission and what awaits the host should be a more terrifying thing."

"after all..."

002 elongated the end of the sentence with a sense of malice.

"Host, you can't die."

“Both pain and regret will continue forever in samsara.”

"It seems that it would be better for it to be reduced to ashes."

002 looks like laughing.

It looked slightly different from the system Neji had first seen.

He used threats, inducements, both soft and hard tactics to coax Neji into carrying out the mission.

A mission that does not belong to Neji.

In this time travel called a "mission", from the very beginning, the only thing that could be called a partner of Neji was the system.

To others, he seemed just like some kind of landscape, appearing under certain circumstances, connected to the memory of the last time he was seen.

His choices, his hesitations, his sadness or joy.

These are all the easiest to be seen by the system.

Those who do the task have a partner.

Only with a partner can we support each other and move forward step by step.

In the repetition of time, watching the mission objectives refreshed again and again around you, perhaps you can be regarded as a temporary partner of your family.

He seemed to be alone.

But the system, with some annoying voices, unexpectedly dragged the boy out of loneliness.

Perhaps, we can be called partners?

Even if it is such an abnormal relationship, it is better than having no relationship at all.

However, he seemed to be wrong.

"of course."

"I give up the mission."

There may not yet be people in the world who have the same experiences as you or who can understand you.

But at least, the system is not worthy of being his companion.

The bird can be kept in a cage because there is someone outside the cage that the bird cares about.

He would smile and bring food to the birds and all the necessities of life.

It was he who put the bird in the cage, and the bird's death was bound to make him discover something.

"I'm already dead."

"That's nothing to hesitate about, is it?"

To kill or not to kill.

The answer was determined before I even hesitated.

...

Uchiha Madara moved forward slowly with murderous intent, but his steps were stopped by something.

It's a hand.

With its fair skin, one can easily tell at a glance that the owner has not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

It looked bloodless, and even the blood vessels beneath the skin were beating weakly.

There is a thick layer of calluses on the fingertips, which can be seen with the naked eye.

This is the palm that only those who try their best to become stronger have.

Such a person should not lie helplessly on the hospital bed like he is now.

If it weren't for that...

Neji would not be like this.

But even this boy who looked like he would break at the slightest touch in Uchiha Madara's eyes actually flashed a powerful light in his byakugan eyes.

If my body allowed, I could jump up right now and knock everyone to the ground.

Complex emotions surged through Madara's body.

His wrinkled, dry, old fingers gently held the hand that was hooked on his clothes.

"what happened?"

Madara's voice was trembling.

"what happened to you?"

The hand is getting cold.

Uchiha Madara was afraid to hear the answer.

What Uchiha Obito was shouting just now doesn't seem to be so important now.

Don't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear the answer I expected.

"spot..."

The white-eyed boy sounded like he didn't care at all about his tattered body.

He just needed to tell the people around him at this time that this situation had occurred to him.

That’s all.

It was as if Neji was just the guardian of this body.

"The wound hurts..."

In the darkness, Madara seemed to see Neji staggeringly raising his other hand.

Just as pale, just as bloodless.

But not long after it was lifted up, it shook and fell down again due to the heavy weight.

Fortunately, the quilt was soft, and it used its most gentle side to catch the boy's falling arm.

It wasn't Obito who was captured.

But it was Nohara Rin who was next to the boy.

It was late at night and there was only one medical ninja here.

You don’t even have to think about what needs to be done.

The girl stumbled as she was dragged all the way from Obito, and there was no sign of impatience on her face.

If she could walk faster and react quicker, would she not be so passive?

From the moment she heard the pain in the wound, Lin had a bad feeling.

The not-so-peaceful peaceful daily life is probably coming to an end here.

"The wound that had begun to heal... is bleeding!"

There was a hole in the chest.

No matter how you think about it, it's a dead end.

But the person in front of me had survived.

It's been considered a narrow escape.

She wasn't exactly a fledgling medical ninja, she still had the chakra belonging to the Three-Tails.

In a sense, it is the right time, right place and right people that the young man in front of him can live to this day.

The burnt flesh was removed at the very beginning, exposing the original wound surface and disinfecting it...

This is the basic principle of wound care.

People have platelets.

The body will issue a command to stop bleeding the moment bleeding occurs.

External pressure can be applied to stop the bleeding, or a bandage can be tied on the proximal end - of course, the latter is absolutely not suitable for Neji's condition.

The bleeding inside the injured person's body will also begin to stop.

The most important of these are platelets.

"No, the bleeding won't stop!"

The girl's face was filled with anxiety, this situation was totally out of character.

The treatment of the wound that time...there shouldn't be any problem.

She checks the wound at least three times a day to see how it's healing - and it's definitely getting better.

Just as shown in the textbooks, new granulations emerged and thin skin and flesh replaced the bloody wound.

It shouldn't be like this.

She could hear the white-eyed boy's painful gasps.

You can see the cold sweat on the boy's forehead wetting his black hair.

It must... hurt.

Even in a coma, the pain does not diminish at all.

The light green chakra gradually became intermittent from being steady at the beginning.

If he can't even stop the bleeding, he will definitely die.

Behind him are the expectant eyes of Obito and Grandpa Madara - the former is expectation, and the latter...it can just be considered expectation.

Even if she can't be cured, Madara won't do anything to her.

After all, I am Nora, and I have to save the person even if he becomes like this.

Grandpa Madara won't do anything - even though the old Uchiha next to him looks like he's about to destroy the world.

A little more, a little more chakra would be good.

The girl prayed like this.

Using the Three-Tails' chakra is almost always a matter of chance.

She had just become a Jinchūriki, and relying solely on the power of the seal, the chakra she could obtain was far from enough.

It refers to the current situation.

It's more difficult than any previous time.

"If Lady Tsunade were here at this time..."

The girl's hint couldn't be more obvious.

She placed her hands on the boy's wounds, just barely maintaining the current situation.

"Grandpa Madara, his platelet count is dropping rapidly."

"Probably within the next five minutes, the platelet level will drop to zero."

"And the reason for this is..."

Lin's voice became heavier, and the muscles on the left side of her face kept twitching.

If Neji was still conscious, he would realize at first glance that this was exactly the same as the sign that preceded Gaara's transformation into a half-tailed beast.

But even if Neji is in a coma, there is still Uchiha Madara here.

"I see."

"You can't find the reason, can you?"

The old man's tone was cold, but there was no blame in it.

"terribly sorry..."

Madara did not continue speaking, his lavender Rinnegan was fixed on Lin's twitching muscles.

The skin was changing color already -- rough, scaly, like three-dimensional skin.

The saliva flowed down the girl's cheeks, but it could not affect the light green chakra at all.

But after just one look from Madara, the restless half calmed down.

As obedient as a house cat.

"Tsunade, right?"

The granddaughter of that guy Hashirama - also the granddaughter raised by Tobirama.
